Farm to School Task Force receives grant

The Colorado Farm to School Task Force has received a $105,000 grant from the Colorado Health Foundation (www.coloradohealth.org) to help schools, local farmers and communities bring fresh local food into K-12 school meal and snack programs. The grant will fund outreach and technical assistance to local communities, research on best practices in farm-to-school policy, development of a farm-to-school evaluation plan and pilot programs.

Colorado Classroom provides ground-level reporting on what’s going on in the state’s public schools and on college campuses, looking at people, places, issues, trends and innovative approaches to education.
